James Maddison has been one of the best players in the Premier League for Tottenham this season.
The midfielder has been absolutely excellent since joining Spurs in the summer.
He’s made an impact in almost every single game he’s played this season, and it’s been hard to pick out any negatives in his game.
However, as always, you’re often going to have your critics, and speaking on The Stand with Eamon Dunphy, John Giles has picked out an issue in Maddison’s game.
The pundit stated that while he is a fan of Maddison, he thinks he’s a player who has to be in a good team if he is to shine, claiming that he’s often carried by his teammates to these good performances.
Maddison gets a piggyback Giles has shared his verdict on the man worth £45million.
“He’s not a midfielder, he’s one of those guys who moves between the midfield and the attackers.
At Leicester he was not in a good team.
He has to be in a good team to do what he is good at, he has to carry a lot to score spectacular goals and score a few.
This manager gets the most out of him because he puts him in the right position.
He’s very unique in the way he does that and he certainly has the ability to score goals.
He played a lot better than I expected,” Giles said.
No chance We must disagree with this view.
If there’s one player in this Tottenham team who shouldn’t be transferred to another team, it’s Maddison.
Maddison is one of the only Spurs players who can create something from nothing.
He steps in when everything else looks bleak, and he also did that for many years for Leicester City.
Maddison is not the type of player who is carried by his teammates, on the contrary, he is often the player who carries the whole team.
